Domain
Aftermarket Heats Up With 70 Sales Ranging From $10,000 to $120,000
Over the Past Two Weeks

I was away last week for my
daughter Brittany's wedding,
so we have some catching up to do this week. To bring you completely
up to speed on all domain sales reported since my last column two
weeks ago, this will be a double-length report with each of
our charts expanded from their usual 20 positions to 40 to reflect
the double dose of data.

It was a very solid fortnight for
the domain aftermarket led by a six-figure sale and 69
others that broke the five-figure barrier. Hitting that mark is
usually good enough to earn a spot on the Big Board, but so
many did it over the past two weeks that 30 sales at that level fell
short of qualifying for the elite list.

The AfternicDLS
sale of Paddle.com at $120,000 set the pace this time
around the track. That marks the 6th time in the past 7 weeks that
at least one six-figure sale has been posted.

GoDaddyAuctions
swept the next four spots on the leader board with a quartet of .coms
including #2 TeachingJobs.com at $89,250 and #3 TMG.com
at $80,000. The .coms went on to sweep the first 18 places on
the expanded all extension Top 40 sales chart, including an IDN,
動画.com
("video" in Japanese), at #8 with a $35,069 sale
at Moniker/SnapNames.

Ron Jackson

The ccTLDs finally snapped the .com
streak with #19 Agri.eu changing hands for $20,790 at Sedo.
They went on to put four more country codes on the leader board
including #25 Runway.ca at $19,500.

The non .com gTLDs were less
fortunate, with just one representative from that group on chart - #28 (tie) Oktoberfest.net,
a domain that sold for $18,000 at DomainNameSales.

The race among venues was a very
competitive one with the AfternicDLS and GoDaddyAuctions each having
a hand in 10 charted sales and Sedo accounting for nine. Five other venues
has multiple chart entries; Moniker/SnapNames (4), NameJet
(4), DomainNameSales (3), MostWantedDomains
(2) and NoktaDomains
(2).

Here is how the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday,
Sept. 2:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

There were 30 more five-figure .com sales
off the chart led by Sedo's $14,760 sale of SIPX.com.
They also banked $13,000 for GHUB.com and $12,600
each for Panzerspiele.de and SHP.net. Also at
Sedo, SeniorCare.org sold for $12,000 and three
others; MyDriver.com, MyMosaic.com and Origami.org
went for $10,000 apiece.

Elsewhere, GoDaddyAuctions sold OfficeRentals.com
($12,500) and LiveCasinoTV.com ($12,000) while
DomainNameSales moved ChinaList.com for $12,000, ITCertifications.com
for $11,000 and two others, MorninGlory.com and ShotOver.com
corralled $10,000 each. NoktaDomains tacked on $11,000
apiece for HelmetCameras.com and Tagesgeldzinsen.com.

.Com Supporting Cast

Sedo led the .com supporting cast of
four-figure sales with Inspirational.com at $9,999.
They also scored with Dagrasso.com ($9,828), Mirova.com
($9,411) and Jagen.com ($8,807). USPAP.com

went for $7,559 and EJEJ.com clicked for $7,140.

As always, we welcome all verifiable sales reports from companies,
private sellers or individuals with knowledge of an important sale
made through any channel. To contribute information and help make
this column better, just drop a note to editor@dnjournal.com.

We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.

Every Wednesday we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us
their sales data for the previous 7 days. We then compile that
information and write this article to give
you the most comprehensive sales report in the industry.

Editor's Note: If you wish to review previous Domain
